Scones by Cathryn Dresser

My children are really learning their way around the kitchen having helped me on numerous cooking and baking tasks.  They both love to help out especially with the baking.  Sometimes it is hard to think what to bake with them that needs minimal adult supervision.  So whenever there is a review for a children’s cookbook, I am always keen to try it.

Banana Cake with Morrisons

Morrisons invited several BritMums bloggers to become a #MorrisonsMum (or #MorrisonsDad!) and to go into their local store and spend £80 worth of vouchers on their bank holiday shop.  We were really fortunate to get picked!

We are no strangers to Morrisons as they are my fortnightly shop especially for Fuji apples and poultry.  I like their fresh meat counter as they are British meat and of course their meat is endorsed by Red Tractor.

Making Bread with Children

Making bread is one form of baking that I always like to do with my children. It’s such a simple food yet the smell never fails to make your mouth water.  Ms C loves her bread and the only bread she eats is plain!  We can’t get her to eat any other bread, like cheesy bread or even bread with sesame seeds.  So this half term, we made bread together to go along with her soup.

Rosemary Focaccia Italian Bread with Piquanté Peppers

Having bought too much strong white bread flour and having some leftover rosemary, I decided to make Rosemary Focaccia Italian Bread. I also added chopped piquanté peppers on top as I had won 6 jars and I in need to use them up!

Beanies Tiramisu Steamed Cake

Beanies had selected 10 bloggers to join in their #BeaniesBakeOff for this Beanies Easter Blogger Competition.  They had sent me a selection of Beanies coffee to do this challenge.

Cinnamon Sugar Puff Pastry and Stick

After reading Jenny Leonard 5 minutes cinnamon whirls blog post, she inspired me to make one too.  But I instead made up something even quicker!  This is a very lazy recipe and requires less ingredients.

What started as a small space to document family memories has grown into a vibrant corner of the internet where I share my love for cooking, crafting, DIY projects, Chinese culture, parenting, and honest product and YouTube reviews. Whether I’m creating festive crafts, exploring Chinese traditions, or trying out new recipes, I hope to inspire others through everyday moments from home.
